PA Blended Course

All Park blended courses require weekly student activities and contact with the instructor; weekly attendance will be documented. Blended courses are typically defined as those where 20%-40% of traditional face-to face classroom time is replaced by online assignments and activities. Veterans Administration (VA) guidelines require at least 60% face-to-face content. Minimum class room F2F time at a campus center for a (3) credit hour course which meets (40) hours per term would be (3) credit hours x number of weeks in term (8) which equals (24) hours- (3) hours each week. At least 2 hours per week should be spent engaged in online classroom activities.
